Raisin coffee Guatemalan rum
9
out of 10

Enjoyed a mini bottle of Malteco 1992 25y. Large bottle and label design are just okay but nothing special. Deep amber color. Raisin overload, massive amount of sugar, maybe added honey, mild coffee and some dried fruits to the nose and palate when neat sipped. No burn at all, but the exit is overly sweet. Easily earns a solid 9, but nowhere as good as the spectacular Malteco Seleccion 1987.

Light mahogany in the glass.
In the nose fresh scents of delicate caramel gently bedded on moss in the forest, surrounded by grass and mushrooms and a hint of cocoa.
On the palate soft and mild, caramel and chocolate are the dominators. Wood and vanilla are somewhat offside.
In the finish the chocolate stretches into infinity.
An honest rum one frippery but unfortunately also without depth. For beginners and connoisseurs. -8

Real 25-Year old

This real 25 years old rum was aged into bourbon cask. Nice amber color with gray green reflections, the nose is very pastry with honey, vanilla, chocolate, coffee. On the palate, the dry fruits are very presents with vanilla. The final is not long but very sweet.
